INTRODUCTION
The below essay describes the positioning of success in higher education. It involves
reflective approach, use of formative feedback, behavioural and cultural expectations and the
importance of peer-to-peer support. In the learning aspects reflective approach is very much
important (Arqawi, Abu-Naser and Al Shobaki, 2019). The reason behind this is that it
develops an ability to properly understand about the concept of how individuals actually learn
and different ways that should be used to enhance their skills. There are basically two models
that are used in the learning cycle and these are Gibbs model and Kolb circle of learning. The
main aim of formative feedback is to monitor each student learning on the basis of which
improvements can be made. There are many expectations on the basis of culture and behaviour
that a student needs in the field of business management because it helps in building up the level
of growth and also develop the knowledge in certain areas (Arzubiaga and et.al, 2018). While
learning, proper team work is necessary because on the basis of that only people would get to
know about other people abilities and then make certain improvements.

As the effects of COVID-19 spreads throughout the world. The main focus of the
governments and businesses is the safety of the people. It has been found that hospitality, travel
or leisure clients experienced badly due to the situation of pandemic. The impact of situation is
huge and never predicted something like that before (Teh and Et.al., 2018). Many businesses in
the industry has been taken their decisions to shut down, their hotels, theme parks, cinemas or
restaurants. Apart from this, it also affects badly to the revenue and supply system of the
business. Travel is an activity that is consisting with the involvement of many people from a
range of households which is not risk free even though people take doses of vaccination.
Government imposed different measures in order to control the impact of disease (Acuna and
Et.al., 2017). And due such measures, people also take proper precautions to control the spread
which ultimately changes their travel behaviour too. I too changed my travel patterns from
grocery shopping to work. I wear mask while going out to purchase stuffs from grocery stores,
maintaining 1 metre distance from others, wash foods items before using them and so on. Due to
the pandemic situation, I prefer more private transport instead of public transport. The travelling
is decided with some priorities that if it is very essential to travel then I prefer to travel with
proper precautions such as use of sanitizer, trying to contact less with people, choosing of hotel
which has taken proper measures and many more. Even though sometimes I avoid food from
outside as so many hands touch the food parcel and many more. The industry also try to reduce
their number of staff from hotels, restaurants and other areas due to such many of the employees
lost their jobs and their family also suffers huge losses. After the lock-down is over, the hotels or

thinking being able to clear to others (Araújo, Cardoso and Magalhães, 2019). It is very

be safety for all people (Kristjánsdóttir, Matthíasdóttir and Saavedra, 2021). This will also focus
on economic growth and profits have to led equity markets across the globe. Many employees
cannot move from one place to another place because all airports, station are closed due to this
pandemic situation. In order to carry out reflection practice I have determined impact COVID-19
on hospitality sector. For this Gibbs reflection model is carried that are as follows:
Description: In this element I have determined that hospitality, travel as well as leisure
sector are drastically impacted by COVID-19. I am now able to understand about impact. This
concept has gave me idea about impact of disease which has affected business practice.
Feelings: As I was feeling very worthy that I got a chance to carry study on this topic. It
was my immense pleasure to carry analysis which could examine impact of coronavirus disease
on hotel sector.
Analysis: With this I am able to analyse that in case of hospitality sector their staff
income are less most of people are unemployed and impact of hospitality sector are decreased
majority of people are reduced due to this pandemic situation because hotels are closed for a
while. The nature of hotels and restaurant will change to leaner and most efficient operations.
